 ### Escape hatch mechanism
 
-You can use `tracer.provider` attribute to access all methods provided by the [AWS X-Ray SDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray-sdk-for-nodejs/latest/reference/AWSXRay.html).
+You can use `tracer.provider` attribute to access [a subset of the methods provided](https://docs.powertools.aws.dev/lambda/typescript/latest/api/classes/_aws_lambda_powertools_tracer.provider_ProviderService.ProviderService.html) by the [AWS X-Ray SDK](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray-sdk-for-nodejs/latest/reference/AWSXRay.html).
 
 This is useful when you need a feature available in X-Ray that is not available in the Tracer utility, for example [SQL queries tracing](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-sdk-nodejs-sqlclients.html), or [a custom logger](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/xray/latest/devguide/xray-sdk-nodejs-configuration.html#xray-sdk-nodejs-configuration-logging).

+If you need to access a method that is not available you can import it directly from the AWS X-Ray SDK for Node.js. Compatibility with the Tracer utility is not guaranteed.

 ## Testing your code
 
 Tracer is disabled by default when not running in the AWS Lambda environment - This means no code changes or environment variables to be set.
